Klingon Word of the Day for Wednesday, June 07, 2023 Klingon word: yov Part of speech: verb Definition: charge (military term) _______________________________________________ (KGT 48): Common militaristic acts also have associated terminology, both verbs ({DoHmoH}, drive back; {Hub}, defend; {yot}, invade; {weH}, raid (same as {yot}, really, but with the added connotation of surprise or speed); {HIv}, attack, assault; {Sev}, contain; {HeD}, retreat, withdraw) and nouns ({yot}, invasion, raid, incursion; {Hub}, defense). N.B. do not confuse with {Huj} "charge [up]" -- which I've always assumed, albeit without evidence, was electrical- or power-related. Do we have any examples/comments? But see also: rIH energize (v) laQ energize, fire [e.g. thrusters] (v) ngIng have a negative charge (v) ruS have a positive charge (v) -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from recent qep’a’mey or qepHommey. I’ve fallen woefully behind in updating my files.
